Judd Apatow Snags Adam Sandler For…Relationship Drama?
—
Sure, the potent combination of Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler, reuniting for a recently announced new project, means plenty of laughs. But could it be that their next film owes more to “Punch Drunk Love” than it does to “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”? Apatow thinks so. “It’s a relationship movie,” he said of the still-untitled project, which ...

Judd Apatow, Adam Sandler Team Up
If It's Movies — ... subjects that are important and make them less and less broad while making them equally as funny. It’s another step in that progression. It’s a comedy, but it has more drama in it. A hilarious drama is what I’m going for,” says Apatow. The currently-untitled film will star Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann. Apatow is unsure is the rest of his normal crew will return, actors like Jonah Hill and Paul Rudd, but he says he will certainly be inviting them. Source: MTV Movies Blog.

Cera + Wright and Sandler + Apatow
SpoutBlog — ... win any girl’s heart just by doing nothing. See the video above for the first sorta collaboration between Wright and Cera (and Jonah Hill). The other collaboration seems like a gift from someone who reads my SpoutBlog posts and does not like me. But as much as I’ll criticize both Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler for their latest efforts, I have been a huge fan of each in time and am hoping to favor them both again in the future. And if Shawn Adler at MTV Movies Blog is right in his presumption that the untitled movie to be directed by Apatow and star Sandler will be comparable ...

Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen Encourage You To Try The Veal [Roots]
Gawker: defamer — ... Judd Apatow is the first to admit that he makes "dick movies with heart," and his latest project is no exception. It's a relationship saga set in the world of stand-up comedy, and as he explains, "It's not a big high-concept movie. It's hopefully going to be a very, very funny drama." ...

Indie Movie Queen Parker Posey Bashes Judd Apatow's Humor
backseatcuddler.com 3/18/2008 — Parker Posey is no stranger to movies. She is the darling of independent movie directors everywhere. Now she’s taking a jab at reigning big budget movie scribe Judd Apatow and his ‘frat boy humor.’ She says, “There’s so much frat boy humor out there now. This whole Judd Apatow craze - I don’t like it. It excludes girls, and it doesn’t do anything particularly great for our culture...

Earth to Judd Apatow: Anchorman 2 is a Fantastic Idea — Film School Rejects
Consider this an open letter to Judd Apatow — since he has stopped returning my calls, this is the best I can do to get in touch with him these days. I will try and keep this short and sweet, as I know that Judd is a very busy man: we need more of Papa Burgundy. There, I said it. Apatow recently made comments about a potential sequel to Anchorman , which come in the heels of Will ...
Drillbit Taylor — Movie Review — Film School Rejects
When I saw the ads for Drillbit Taylor , I had sudden flashbacks to last year’s surprise late-summer hit Superbad . Not only is this another teen comedy from current Hollywood golden boy Judd Apatow , but it looks like the filmmakers dipped into a time vortex and plucked Jonah Hill and Michael Cera from their freshman year in high school. Still, as similar as this movie seems to what ...
‘Drillbit Taylor’ the Worst-Reviewed Judd Apatow Movie of All Time! — Vulture
Courtesy of Paramount Does Judd Apatow's tangential involvement mean nothing anymore? Drillbit Taylor , starring Owen Wilson as a homeless man who fights children, the latest movie product to bear an Apatow production credit, currently has a Metascore of 40 and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 25 percent, making it the worst-reviewed film Apatow has ever sort of worked on. (The second-worst is ...

Review: Drillbit Taylor — Cinematical
Drillbit Taylor , a comedy about three youths who hire a "bodyguard" to protect them from school bullies, may be produced by Judd Apatow ( Knocked Up , The 40-Year-Old Virgin ), but it doesn't really fit into the Apatow filmography of manic modern comedies. It feels like it belongs to a different continuum of film -- the lazy-yet-agreeable teen comedies of the '80s, where a simple hook gets ...
Judd Apatow Alert: Four Comedies Coming — Thompson On Hollywood
We all know Judd Apatow has four movies coming up in 2008. But which ones will work at the boxoffice? By my guess, all of them. It's just a case of how high is high. I also forecast correctly that the musical biopic parody Walk Hard would fail. It was a smart comedy satire of narrow interest to a wide audience, and asked folks to spend entirely too much screen time with John C. Reilly, ...

I will tell you this, however, in the second episode of Dirt this season, Tom plays the Alec Baldwin-inspired character and hits it out of the park. I'm gonna make a clip of his best moment over at Hulu and post it under the Apatow clip. This panel at ...
Will Apatow Enter Sequel Land with Ron Burgundy? — Cinematical
One of the best things about Judd Apatow is that he keeps putting movies out, but he stays away from sequels. Instead of saying: "Oh, sweet! 40-Year-Old Virgin did well, so let's make a flick about his first forays into kinky sex, or his first kid, or ..." he finds something new to film. Similar themes may pop up, but the world is always fresh. But what if he went back to an old flick? In a ...
Judd Apatow Maintains Dedication to Onscreen Wangs — Vulture
Photo illustration: Getty Images, iStockphoto It was just a few months ago that comedy Svengali Judd Apatow vowed to include male nudity in every film he makes, proclaiming, "America fears the penis." We worried that Apatow was going back on that promise when we heard that the upcoming Drillbit Taylor is rated PG-13, a wang-unfriendly rating. But in a move clearly intended to assuage ...

Judd Apatow Discusses Sequel Possibilities — If It's Movies
Judd Apatow hasn’t created a SuperBad 2 or Knocked up Again , in fact he has never made a sequel. Recently, though, he discussed the possibility of returning to the world of one of his films. Out of all of the movies Apatow has produced or written, he feels that Anchorman would be the best fit for a sequel. “The movie that probably has a best shot at a sequel is ‘Anchorman.’ Ron ...

Judd Apatow Talks Sequels and Anchorman 2 — /Film
You have to give Judd Apatow credit for still not having a single sequel, especially a Knocked Up with Twins , on his vast production buffet.

SXSW Movie Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall — Film School Rejects
The Apatow clan is back again, but with a different spin. I love the fact that Apatow is allowing each of the talented actors from his original projects to come back, and take a crack at the big screen one at a time. In the same vein of The 40 Year Old Virgin , Knocked Up and Superbad … Forgetting Sarah Marshall pretends to be an outrageous comedy, but still ends up finding a way to ...
